The purpose of the project is to explore the role of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for Sustainable Development, specifically in connection with the concept of multi-stakeholder engagement. Understanding whether and how sustainability has been institutionalized by the University of Timisoara will serve to critically examine the differences and similarities between the two HEIs involved, taking into account the different external environmental settings. The core of international cooperation is here interpreted as a moment of exchange of best practices (program, policies, and actions) between the two universities without losing the scientific purpose of producing high-quality level knowledge.
